Two charged in Palatka road rage shooting

Two people were arrested Tuesday following an investigation into a road rage incident that ended in gunfire Sunday in the 200 block of Green Drive in Palatka.

Authorities said Gene Hamilton Mast got into a confrontation with Anthony Clark after two vehicles got too close to each other at the intersection of 19th Street and Reid Street in Palatka. The heated incident continued on the roadway to Green Drive.

There, Mast fired a gun at Clark after Clark exited his vehicle and was standing in the front yard of his home. Clark also had a gun and fired back at Mast, who was driving away in a pickup truck. A woman in Mast’s truck was struck in the neck in the exchange and was treated for her injuries.

Mast was arrested and booked in the Putnam County jail on two charges of attempted homicide. He was released on $100,008 bail. Hollyce Marie Fuller was charged with tampering with evidence and was released from jail on $2,504 bail.
